made as are called for to maintain an approximately uniform pull ,upon the fabrics produced and the needles, notwithstanding differences in the fabrics which are apt otherwise to cause harmful pull upon the needles, as is indicated in Fig. 2 by the dif: ference in the lengths of the two fabrics shown. The yielding of the separate reelsin accord with such difierences may 0bviously be provided for otherwise than has tions to the common shaft whereby the t'urning of the several reels thereon isautomatically varied to substantially equalize the take-off action of the shaft;
